PoE is always online but I like the challenge of finding and creating my own gear. Finding build defining uniques is my next alt.

Yes but you can do this offline too, diablo 2 had offline mode...

PoE cant be played offline. I'll play D2 next if I don't find any build defining uniques for an alt but that doesn't have SSF

In trade that makes sense and that's has its own issues but I'm in SSF. If they fixed trade "loot" may not be as big a deal as people make out.

When its SSF why do you play online game at all?

Why you posting bs like this? The game isn't playable offline.... The players that like ssf and dislike trading aren't stupid. As well GGG isn't stupid with offering a SSF option. If it's to much level of thinking for you pls don't post and ask anyone for help to explain you this things.

Yes it is but you're in a PoE forum which is only online so I don't get it. I'm playing PoE

that because you cant, so what are you here for?

For a live service game that is going to have regular economy resets every couple of months the loot is absolutely terrible. It will probably be better at launch, but for some reason with EA the devs are slow dripping things out to the players in order to drive engagement in the form of time played.

It's almost as if they are testing the waters to see what players are willing to put up with in terms of the drops, the lacklustre crafting system, the size of maps, player nerfs, skill gems and nodes that negatively effect the player for a tiny fraction of power gained, etc.

Our tolerance is being tested and players came down hard on the o.2 patch calling it out for what it is. Expect the devs to continue to overnerf things and throw in outrageous mechanics over the next couple of patches that continue to upset players and spend weeks correcting course when they community doesn't engage with their product.

I agree with OP. Loot should not be buffed. Maybe specific outliers like Jeweller's Orbs should be looked at, but all in all loot is in a good place. PoE 2 is the only ARPG where I feel the rush from a drop since Diablo 2. I would reduce the amount of items that drop even further and improve the quality and weights of drops to compensate.

The campaign should have rng protection so no one feels starved, but maps are in a good place. I hope this game is not going to be reduced to another pinata screen explode, but seeing people complaining about water hags of all things, I am losing hope for this community.

No, it isn't. Do you want to gear up your character to 80% of its power 2 weeks into the league and then gather incremental upgrades, or do you want to feel the dopamine chase a month or two into the league still?

There is little dopamine here, its mainly frustrastion. Why cant i find loot that is useful to me besides currency? really not rewarding at all and boring too
